Intro
Yeah
Mm
Look
⸻
Verse 1
Woke up breathin’, that’s a win to me
Had nights I couldn’t sleep, just pray for peace
I was broke but my hope stayed rich
Had faith even when it didn’t make sense
I remember wishin’ just to be okay
Not even dreamin’ ‘bout a better place
Now I look back like “man, we made it through”
Every scar got a story I don’t erase, no
I ain’t forget where I started from
I just learned how to run my race
Had my back against the wall so long
Now I smile when I feel that space
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I don’t thank God only when I win
I thanked Him when I was losin’ friends
If the lights go out and the fame slow down
I’d still bow my head, yeah I’m grateful now
⸻
Chorus
Yeah I’m grateful now
Didn’t have much but I made it out
Still pray first when I wake up now
If it all went away, I’d be grateful now
Yeah I’m grateful now
For the lows that showed me how
If I lost it all, I’d still be proud
‘Cause I learned who I am — yeah I’m grateful now
⸻
Verse 2
I remember stress sittin’ at the door
Heart so tired but I wanted more
I ain’t quit when it got real dark
I just learned how to see in the storm
They didn’t see the tears hit the floor
They just see the smile when I walk through doors
But every prayer had weight to it
Every step had faith to it
I don’t brag ‘bout the nights I cried
But I know they built this backbone strong
Every wrong turn showed me right
Now I know where I belong
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I don’t measure life by the things I own
I measure joy by the seeds I’ve sown
If tomorrow comes and the plans fall through
I’d still say thank You for what You do
⸻
Chorus
Yeah I’m grateful now
Didn’t have much but I made it out
Still pray first when I wake up now
If it all went away, I’d be grateful now
Yeah I’m grateful now
For the pain that slowed me down
If the world went quiet, I’d stand proud
‘Cause I learned who I am — yeah I’m grateful now
⸻
Bridge
I used to pray just to make it through
Now I pray just to stay in truth
I don’t need the spotlight bright
I just need my soul aligned
Every breath feel borrowed now
Every moment feel louder now
I don’t chase the highs no more
I found joy in the ground I’m standin’ on
⸻
Final Chorus
Yeah I’m grateful now
For the nights I was breakin’ down
For the friends that stayed around
For the faith that never let me drown
Yeah I’m grateful now
If I’m up or I’m layin’ low
I already won — I already know
I’m walkin’ proof, yeah I’m grateful now
⸻
Outro
Yeah
No matter where I go
Still grateful
